My new chiptune album/EP is out! soudou of skrow!media had this to say about the album:

Quote:

Holy chips, Batman! Today greets the arrival of the second offering from Elizabethtown, KY native Nick Hagman aka Nario. The followup to 2009’s Most of Me, the astutely titled More of Me is all chip all awesome all the time. The seven sizzlin’ songs here boast varied influences from rock, electro pop, dance, industrial and more, all neatly bundled into a retro 8-bit package of blip love and hot groove.

For some reason, streaming the audio from Bandcamp sounds weird. I recommend either downloading the whole album from Bandcamp (can even pay $0 to do it, but donations are VERY GLADLY ACCEPTED) or from skrow!media instead.

Awesome job man! I really like Chips of the Penguin! Will buy this on pay day

Thank you!

I really like Chips of the Penguin as well (I was actually listening to it when I saw your post). As mentioned in my track commentary, I got a lot of inspiration from Castlevania 2: Belmont's Revenge (for the GameBoy) and Shoji Meguro (the composer for Shin Megami Tensei games PS2 era and onward). I can totally see this song being transformed into a true rock/metal remix, and then the song would be perfect for something like Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga for the PS2.

Bought! Just out of curiosity what did you use to make the chiptunes? I've always wanted to try it myself.

Re: More of Me - EP is out!

Thank you!!! I really, really appreciate your support!

I use the program ModPlug Tracker, in conjunction with buckyohare's authentic NES samples pack of instruments. It's kinda like FamiTracker, but a little less authentic and more flexible (allowing panning, volume changes, etc.).

This album has only gotten 25% of the downloads that 'Most of Me' has. I encourage everyone to check this out if you liked my previous album! This one is entirely chiptune (five 5-channel songs, and two 10-channel songs [I am totally aware this is cheating], with two additional 5-channel songs if you buy the CD), and I honestly think it's loads better than 'Most of Me'!

I've been meaning to do this since last August, but I've finally updated my sig to reflect both my latest album, as well as promoting my bandcamp.

Just give this a listen! It's only 30 minutes, and I put even more heart into it than Most of Me.
